EB Quote:


"Huge!...Not you, I'm talking about the dinosaur bones." - Girl at Fourside Museum


Today's Gameplay Point:


Breaking your legs does THAT? Uh oh... Now it's time for Poo to complete his training. Once he passes, bring him to the museum so you can get the Heirloglyphic Copy. Then head to Fourside and find out the "extraordinary" thing Mr. Spoon wants to show. But make sure to get Venus' autograph. Finally, face the Plague Rat of Doom, collect the melody, and save the game.


Today's Challenges:


  • Avoid at least one of the Shattered Men in the Summer's Museum. This is important if you want to do an interesting challenge later.
  • Don't use Paralysis in the sewers.
  • Can you defeat the Plague Rat of Doom with PSI Flash? No other offensive attacks can be used.
  • Collect every item before you face the PRoD.


Mother 2 Factoids:


Seeeee? One has an 'O' the other has an 'A'. We'll finish our research on the rest of the vowels next week. As you can see from the picture, Topollo was changed to Topolla. Not extremely exciting, but filler is fun. Anyway, a more interesting topic would be the fact that Mr. Spoon, was actually called Mr. Ricebowl in Mother 2. Also, Mr. Fork was called Mr. Chopstick. Obviously this was changed for cultural reasons.

Thanks to Tomato for providing this Mother 2 information! Visit his Mother 2 to EarthBound and Back Again translation site for more Mother 2 to EB comparisons!



Gameplay Hints/Tips:


Flash. A seemingly useless attack. In the beginning of the GPP, you're going to be facing Shattered Men in the Museum. A few blasts of Freeze will do the trick. Even though Poo is relatively weak, his Freeze attack will help out immensely. Keep him alive so he can gain a few levels. Next, in the sewers, make use of the paralysis attack. A lot of enemies there are susceptible to it. Now when you face the Plague Rat of Doom, try your strongest form of PSI Flash. The PRoD is susceptible to it, and might even be defeated with one attack. It's worth a shot. Finally, when the PRoD is defeated, make sure to seak out the Broken Bazooka for Jeff. Infinite "super bombs" is a very good thing.
